The Reason Kelly Clarkson Has Been Absent From Her Talk Show!

We’re getting more details into what the heck is going on with Kelly Clarkson!

The 42-year-old singer sparked concern among viewers as she has been a no-show on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a bit. She appeared on the March 4 and 5 episodes, but several celebrity guest hosts, including Brooke Shields, Roy Wood Jr., Willie Geist, and Molly Sims, have filled in for her for the rest since February 28. When Simu Liu hosted on March 3, he said he was supposed to show up to promote his new movie but stepped in to help out at the last minute:

“Kelly actually isn’t able to make it today. We are sending her our very best, and here’s the thing. I did not know that I was doing this until about five minutes ago when I arrived here to promote my new movie, Last Breath.”

So strange! There has been zero explanation for why Kelly is missing in action, but sources gave us some insight now! According to TMZ, insiders revealed the talk show host is “completely fine.” Phew. However, she has been “dealing with a personal matter that does not directly involve her.” Hmm. We wonder what the issue could be. Ultimately, the sources stressed that the matter “isn’t a cause for alarm.” Kelly will be back at the studio on Thursday — the same day Molly is the host. It is unclear if she will appear on the episode, which Molly already filmed, or if she is only taping future episodes.

The Breakaway artist is supposed to return to the show on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday next week, with Kal Penn hosting on Monday and Andy Cohen hosting on Wednesday. We will have to wait to see if she addresses her absences then.

For now, fans at least know that she is seemingly OK. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know!
